Throwback to the very first time I showed up as a photographer.
Uau! You all know, a moment like this will never become a blurred image in my memories.
Such an incredible experience with NY Fashion Week in Turkey.
Covid was still making events getting canceled and the "new reality" took us to a Online show!
The show was held in a monumental setting in Kemer Country Club, Istanbul and consisted of four installations much like portals, transports some might say. Probably sprung from their longing for the nature and the futures alignment.
I chose to embrace the uncertainty. Give my first shots to this moment. Took my camera out for the very first time. Allowed it to lead me to a new place inside and out. Gave myself the courage to choose a new direction, to be creative. I was just playing. Like a kid with the dream toy in hands. Being brave as it challenges me to excise both my heart and mind as I create my own path toward happiness and fulfillment. At the end of that day, my heart was filled with so much joy and encouragement to write a new version of myself which now I use to describe how grateful I'm for that experience.
I was embracing the uncertainty and that brought me freedom to be, to feel and see as never before. Enjoying the present, each moment, as it came, because I’ll never get another one quite like it.
I couldn’t imagine any better opportunity to create these unforgettable memories.
Big thanks to my lovely friends @raisasason @vanessasason for giving me so much freedom in that space.
